.veg file used as a template Vegas Pro 14

I'm using track motion to create a PIP in several tracks and want to use the same setup for segments in several videos. Whenever I remove media and replace it with new media I loose the track motion in the track. I would like to just dop the media in each track as I work on a new project. I believe I was able to do this several years ago with track motion but it's not working now. Am I missing something here? Using Vegas Pro 14

Have you tried ADDING AS TAKE ?

No. How would I go about doing that?

As soon as I remove a clip from the track the track motion is gone. What I would like to do is have the three PIP tracks empty whenever I open the veg and drop media into the tracks.

If you add the new scene as a TAKE it will inherit all of the current attributes. 

 

Here is how I would do it, open new scene it Trimmer, select in and out points. Rightclick drag scene to timeline over current scene and select add as take.  You can delete the old scene after you do this if you want.

 

To make a template you can always add an empty event.

I'll give that a try with the trimmer.

I already tried the empty event, and basicly thats the same as the trimmer method. Replacing one event with another. That works, but that is more steps than I was look for. 

Thanks for your response

When you remove the clip on the track, the keyframe also on the track is also removed. My work around is adjust the keyframe to the left so as not to be inline with the clip.

I have a veg file that was created back in 2005 where I can remove all media and the track motion stays intact. In other words, a Template. I'll just work with that one file and duplicate it to get the results I need.

What I was looking for is how to do the same thing in the current version of Vegas Pro. I've tried with no success all the way back to VP 9. I've created presets for the positioning of the PIP's but what I'm looking to do is open a veg file with all the tracks in tact and the track motion in place with no media.
